Going to SXSW in Austin, Texas, this month? Well so are we! NASA is joining in with the interactive part of the festival with a bunch of amazing and FREE events March 8 – 10th. Maybe you’ve seen the promo? If you are anywhere near the Long Center for the Performing Arts that weekend, you won’t be able to miss the replica James Webb Space Telescope model out on display.

Part of learning is consuming content like Astronomy Cast and the Weekly Space Hangout. This material from our partner projects currently forces you to leave CosmoQuest, and go out to Google+ and join us on some link that [...]
On March 22, 2013 we found out that many NASA EPO programs will be suspended as a direct result of US budgetary sequestration. The full ramifications are still being learned, but we are proactively working to raise money to make sure that CosmoQuest can continue to support its staff and its programs. As we are able, we will also use any monies we raise to contract amazing people whose jobs are negatively impacted by budgetary cuts.
